New Music: Erica Mena – Where Do I Go From Here

Erica Mena would be crazy to not capitalize off of the buzz she’s received from her crazy antics on Love & Hip Hop. She’s released a brand new track, titled “Where Do I Go From Here,” which is surprisingly not a bad effort. Erica is giving us some Jennifer Lopez and Amanda Perez mixed with some auto tune as she sings about being in a confusing love situation.

Tell me how did we end up this way
You never miss a good thing till it’s gone away
I’m sitting here trying to reason with myself
While you are here thinking about someone else
Saying you’re sorry won’t take away the pain
Things will never ever be the same

If this were American Idol, Randy would say, “It’s a little pitchy.”

Why not support another black woman regardless if she can sing or not everyone needs a little support. You got 99 likes for saying that but if it was someone else that was known like that your ass would have been thumbed down I don’t understand people smfh

I dont support anyone who DOESNT HAVE THE TALENT TO SING…thats like saying all of those morons who try out for american idol need a contract….dont be stupid. Support should go to people with TALENT..not those who fk the right producer to get a record. i dont support that….

Ha, right! Can’t see her doing this live without repeating that Cassie 106 & Park hot mess of a performance. She’s an “artist” where you actually want the mic turned all the way down and the background track turned up. Matter fact, she should just lip sync.

Erica sounds like a broke down J. Lo. Not bad, just wish there wasn’t so much auto tune. I definitely have more respect for her in doing a ballad. Necole should have posted Olivia’s new song with French Montana for a face off!!! lol

this autotune wasnt even subtle, just BAD, ALL BAD, like its 2013 we still using autotune out here? look we got Jlo already, and mami is holding her title down, and I doubt Erica can dance, so u ish out of luck ALREADY

I refuse to support someone who is just trying to extend 15 minutes of whatever by taking up singing and being Autotuned to DEATH because they have no talent in the craft… Im not here for it and never will be.

There are too many pitch-correction inputs that can be used with protools or logic audio for her vocals to be so pitchy. They should re-record the track. the song is a no ma’am. Maybe if they do it over it can be fixed. Also if she gets a vocal coach to help her with the pitch issues she is having in the first place they won’t need to use a pitch corrector on the vocal. Can’t stand when people say they want to sing but don’t take time to work on their instrument. Song is okay…

I think its disgusting that these producers/managers are so shallow they are willing to give a nontalented arrogant, person an opportunity on a track, then someone with ACTUAL singing ability..this girl is a donkey, and not likeable at all….I dont like her at all…and this song sounds like a bunch of robot..HORRIBLE

Exactly the true testament of Talent is getting up there on that mic and bringing it…If this chick never does shows and keeps releasing this AUTOTUNED REALNESS….then we will know the deal and her a33 will be gone in a month.

Why do you need to hear t live? It’s a song. Songs are called songs, not “performances”. Obviously she’s not gonna be your fave singer, and you don’t have to invest any energy/attention or money into her as an artist, but you can like THE SONG….and you can like it without having to EVER hear it live. You need her in your car singing to you while you drive or in your living room singing to you while you clean? No….you just need THE SONG! We know she can’t sing. What yall tryna prove?

ummm Im sorry i dont support…NON TALENTED PEOPLE…if the point is not being able to sing and record some ****. Ill go down to the studio, pay for some recording time and send the dam song to Necole myself….OR go fk a bunch of rappers and a producers so they can autotune me a hit. Hey it appears to work for Erika..no matter how short lived it will Be. Girl please…… The point of being a SINGER IS TO HAVE TALENT…AND I DONT KNOW WHAT PLANET YOU LIVE IN WHERE IT IS NOT.

must be the same planet with Porsha where there is 265 days of a year….

No one is defending her or saying she has talent, it’s called liking the SONG itself, autoned as it is, just for what it is. She never claimed to have talent, her nor Rich. That’s the only time I’d be mad if she acted like she had talent and then I heard this. And maybe you SHOULD record a sound. You don’t even need a studio Garage Band on mac will suffice, mix it up and send that *** to whoever you want and get your coins up since Erica non singing ass can do it and stop complaining.

+2 Yeah. ok Reply:February 6th, 2013 at 2:54 am

She dont have talent…BUT WANT TO MAKE MUSIC…o ok… well thats easy then..

Jlo was likeable and had a cute quirky girl next door personality- also she can dance her @$$ off- this chick, from what I can tell, isn’t even liked on her reality show…lol…who knows…she may be able to stretch her 15 minutes of fame

exactly, at least Jlo can actually perform (and honestly jlo’s autotune never sounded as obvious as Erica’s) and she can KILL a show with her energy and dancing ability. Same as Janet, Britney Spears and Ciara they are not strong vocalists but at least they can sing on pitch and entertain. Erica WILL NOT be able to perform this song live, its a nice song but I would have LOVED to even hear Olivia on this instead cuz I think she could have killed it (w/out the autotune and with more creativity in adlibs, etc.)

exactly! Rich is so whipped that he can’t even see the forest for the trees. YEs, Erica is more attractive and has more drama than Olivia but her talent is modeling not being an artist. And Tahiry too. Both of those broads sounded a HOT MESS last night, and these men are gassing them up making them think they can be the next superstar. I don’t even like Olivia like that and still think she woulda killed this song, if anything he should have given it to her and just continue to help expand Erica’s modeling career. But just like JOe Budden said “Everybody thinks they can step into the booth” smh

Retype….Hmm….I like the song buutttttt….She’s too damn loud. Tone the auto tune down Rich. It’s waayyy better than that other song her and Ms. Yee was tweffing about! I’ll tell you what! Str8 Up! #DumbAssAndroidKeyboard

I actually like the song itself and if she got some vocal lessons, it would be a better track. Wouldn’t have to use autotune if she worked on her voice. She’s not as horrible as I thought she sounded in season 2. Like Rich said, she sounds… ok.

No. see this is the issue i have with the music industry. Instead of these A&R’s going out and finding someone with REAL talent, they’d rather waste time and money on some broad who cant sing a lick without autotune. GTFOH with this bull. GO FIND SOMEONE WITH REAL TALENT.

It’s cute…….for her. I am just cringing at the thought of her singing this live somewhere! Anyone can sing in the studio but when they step on the stage, now that tells the story. Erica && whoever thought of the art work gets 3 Hell Naw’s && 2 Hated It From me! In the words of Tamar, THAT AIN’T HOT! I know Olivia is somewhere writing a looong letter to Rich though……poor lil tink!

hmmmm better then i thought AUTO SAVED HER If Rihanna can be famous with naked and auto tune then they should give her a shot to she will fit right in with the rest of the NON_SINGING ASS girls THEY call popstars today . WILL THE REAL WOMAN PLEASE START DOING MUSIC AGAIN

I find it funny that the tracks they record months and months ago never come out until the day right after the episode where they recorded it comes on. “They be like wait till that episode of Love and Hip Hop come on then we ‘gon drop that track.”

Dont quit your day job Erica. All these people who make these ol basic ass wack ass songs need to be lined up and stoned. Michael Jackson is probably turinng in his grave. This song is a travesty I say. How you gon be proud of a song and you know that aint ever your voice? Thats like me puttin on a long weave and braggin about how fast my hair grow. That aint you! even if it was… STOP!

This is pretty good they should’ve mixed it a little more to perfect it as far as her attitude there of plenty of artist that are just as worst their just smart not to broadcast their funky attitudes to keep their fan base she will make it they’re millions of girls that layed on that back & mixed business with pleasure they can relate lol but tahiry’s devil was a ultimate fail people give her a pass cause she has two bubbles of fix a flat woop her old ass kaylin

Basic lyrics a 10 year old would write a basic bish that can’t sing this isn’t a horrible song but its dam. Sure not worth 1$ should be free she’s a bird anyway her voice is so filled she can’t sing at all and the cover really she looks like a killer crying after she committed murder lol have a seat Erica u are not a star she doesn’t sound heartbroken its bit convincing girl bye they should’ve given olivia ass this song

I’m so over people not needing real talent anymore to have a record out. It’s like real actresses getting mad when reality stars get tv roles, well real singers should definitely be mad at these autotuned chicks getting air time. It’s just sad! The music industry steady going down hill and fast!!!! SMDH!!!!!! And no thanks to Ms. Mena! I’m gonna stick with my generation of Brandy’s and Monica’s of the R&B world. This new skool ish is for the birds!!!!!!!

You know, I appreciate the lyrics and the tune, but is THIS what music is? Is this what my children will have to be bombarded with in the future? Will the true gift of voice really fall to this? What happened to acapella? What happened to instruments, strings, piano, brass, woodwind? Maybe I’m old school…and this is my generation, but I’m not here for the stuff they’re throwing together and calling it art. Music is fine art, this, I’m not sure what this is. It’s like comparing beef to tofu.

How much was this site paid for posting this? I really wish Olivia would have left Love and Hip Hop. It funny when everyone even Kimbella left and you on their with the rest of the jokes. If she think this show will help her music career she has another thing coming.

I don’t no why everyone has so much negative things to say about her leave her alone if she wants to have her cover pic like that okay if she wanna use auto tone be my guess but i really like this song a lot
